Although I should not have spent my Raya Holidays catching up with anime instead of studying for my Finals… I couldn’t help but want to continue watching-Code Geass : Lelouch of the Rebellion -コードギアス 反逆のルルーシュ- Since it was completed recently. I remembered stopping somewhere halfway through the first season =p.. got a bit lazy to wait for one episode a week…

Synopsis

On August 10, 2010, a.t.b. (the Imperial calendar), the Holy Empire of Britannia overpowered Japanese forces and conquered the country with their new robotic weapons, the Knightmare Frames, in less than a month. In the aftermath of Britannia’s invasion, Japan lost its freedom, its rights, and even its name, becoming Area 11 of the Britannian Empire. The Japanese people, renamed as “Elevens”, are forced to survive in poor neighborhoods, while Britannians live in first-class settlements. Rebel elements persist, however, as pockets of Japanese organizations struggle against the Empire for the independence of Japan.

After his father, the Emperor of Britannia, failed to prevent the assassination of his mother, an attack which also left his sister blind and crippled, the young prince Lelouch vowed to destroy Britannia. Seven years later, he accidentally becomes mixed up with “terrorists” in Area 11 and encounters a mysterious girl named C.C., who gives him the power of Geass. With it, he finally has the power that he needs to defeat Britannia and fulfill his two wishes: to seek revenge for his mother and to construct a world in which his beloved sister can live happily.

The anime’s 50 episodes long… 25 for the first season- subs by [gg] fansubs- and another 25 for R2 the second season -subs by [Eclipse].. It’s available for download in a batch torrent for the first season.. Didn’t take too long to get it all down =)

The 2 main characters, Lelouch and C.C or called C2. Lelouch really is a mastermind while C2 is an immortal and has died too many times that I’ve lost count. Though I must warn you that this anime is not for the faint hearted. There’s a lot of blood and conflict.. Its about war after all, a rebellion against an empire with the prince of it pulling the strings behind it all. If you don’t like blood, sadness, despair, murders… but are a fan of happy pure love stories …I suggest you don’t watch it =p but there’s no gore there… lots of eye candy for the guys though.. Lots of attractive female characters.. eye candy for the guys..

And you’ve guessed it right… They’re all aiming for Lelouch… =p Its amazing how so many girls always go after one guy. He’s smart, a mastermind, strategist and the vice president of the student council. He does have his weakness though.. He’s got no stamina =p Sprints and athletics aren’t his cup of tea.

Then there’s his best friend Kururugi Suzaku, the super athletic one… Of course he has his other good qualities and stuff but If I were to add anymore.. It would lead to lots of spoilers.. I do hope that you give this anime a try because the ending was really good. They sorta cut down on the killing parts because halfway through R2 there was a time slot change … It went from airing at midnight in Japan to 5pm where kids had access to it.. So Sunrise (the animators) had to change their planning of the anime… Kinda makes me wonder how it would have went it there was no time slot change…

This is C.C, aka Pizza woman =p she just loves eating pizza… The cat’s name is Arthur, Suzaku’s cat =p.

The anime is full of twists, nothing is what it seems … PLEASE GIVE IT A TRY =p IT’S AWESOME!!

but don’t say I didn’t warn you about the killing and stuff… it does have a lot of blood!
